Early Childhood (Pre K-2)
Walk through our schoolyard and you will find an atmosphere that encourages understanding and communication. Children chatter happily around a game of tether ball. A few steps away, two children sit engrossed as a classmate describes a recent field trip to the Hawaii Nature Center.
At Maryknoll, the educational experience provides the academic, spiritual, and social grounding for our students. At each level, children are exposed to a wide range of disciplines: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Religion, Social Studies, Music, Computers, Physical Education, Art and Guidance.
The Grade School begins with our Early Childhood Program (Grades Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 2), where children develop and learn through spontaneous, self-directed activities and learning centers, along with the introduction of a more structured environment. Our goal is to cultivate a natural desire to learn.
